Obama in Cairo Egypt June 2009
Edited on Sun Feb-13-11 10:47 PM by usregimechange

"Of course, recognizing our common humanity is only the beginning of our task. Words alone cannot meet the needs of our people. These needs will be met only if we act boldly in the years ahead; and if we understand that the challenges we face are shared, and our failure to meet them will hurt us all." Obama Speech in Cairo, Egypt, June 4th 2009.



Do you wonder why Iran would not allow Obama to speak in their country? Could anything be a greater threat to their power and control?

Obama can spread more freedom with a speech than Bush could have ever done with bombs.

1. One speech would do more than all the bombs in the world, imo

2. That speech was bemoaned by a lot of people since he made it,
but I think it must have given people hope, too. He was right. And he followed through with what he believed, and it worked. Imagine that.
I think this guy gets it, and I am beyond happy that OUR President finally does!
